AHAs render the peel suitable for rejuvenation in all skin types as they separate the damaged outer dead layer from the new, healthy living layer. BHAs uniquely penetrate the oil in the pores and exfoliate accumulated skin cells inside the oil gland. This particular quality is very important for acne/ problem skin patients, unplugging blocked pores,removing blackheads and tightening pores, as well as benefitting those with sensitive skins or rosacea (reddened skins) or acne rosacea. Also incorporated within the 'Peel & Heal' is a unique elastin in a penetrating peptide form. This is a synthesized replica of human elastin. It has been used extremely successfully within RégimA SCAR REPAIR for wound healing, scar maturation, repair and thickening of damaged or fragile skins. We refuse to use animal derived elastin due to potential cruelty factors and also the fact that animal elastin is rejected by the human body. WHY CHOOSE NATURAL RATHER THAN SYNTHETIC ACIDS? Natural AHAs are not buffered with chemical agents in order to stabilize the product. Chemical stabilizing ingredients can have an irritant effect in certain cases. Natural acids are more easily absorbed and cell regeneration is enhanced with more rapid healing. They have a greater effect and one significant benefit is that they do not increase the blood vessels in the skin. Therefore they do not result in exacerbation of broken capillaries, as can be seen with chemicals or synthetic acids. Synthetic acids cause a short, sharp, shock to the skin. When this occurs one may experience superficial peeling, however, there is no long-term therapeutic action. Synthetic acids, such as glycolic, are much cheaper than natural acids. In RégimA's unique 'Peel & Heal' we use malic, lactic, citric & a natural fruit acid complex. Malic acid (from apples is classified as an AHA & BHA) & Lactic Acid (AHA from milk) are the main choice for RegimA in high concentrations within the peel and night products because, being natural, they are the most skin friendly. Malic has the alpha & beta hydroxy action so suits young oily and mature skins. Lactic acid naturally exfoliates, increases skin moisturization and results in smoother looking and feeling skin. Citric acid (from citrus fruit is classified as an AHA & BHA) so has the alpha & beta hydroxy action with the added benefit of working on evening out pigmentation. WHO PERFORMS THE PEEL & HEAL'? The RégimA peels must be performed by either a doctor or a trained skin care professional. This is a strictly in-salon or doctors rooms ' treatment' and is not for home care application. HOW OFTEN SHOULD ONE HAVE A PEEL? A series of peels may be necessary to achieve an optimal end result to a particular problem. It is better and more favourable longterm to start off conservatively with the peels, each treatment time may be increased, dependent on patient/client reaction and tolerance. With a problem such as pigmentation or acne it would be ideal to commence with either weekly peels or fortnightly peels. This will depend on response, need and concentration of 'Peel & Heal' performed. Assessment will be made at each appointment as to how the peel was tolerated. It will then be decided how long to leave the 'treatment' on and which concentration to use. One will progress to either monthly or 6 weekly peels as desired or required, depending on skin condition and client wishes. A more gradual, conservative approach is the safest and best as it will ensure the desired long-term effects. REMEMBER 'PEEL & HEAL' IS SAFE TO USE ALL YEAR ROUND & SAFE DURING PREGNANCY

Body toning !

Bodytique uses a combination of Faradic and vibration technology, along with our aromatherapy body range. Faradic technology is a form of electrical stimulation that uses a higher intensity current than microcurrent stimulation and so is ideally suited for firming and toning body muscles. The current is delivered through electrically conductive pads that are positioned over specific muscle groups. The current is a low-frequency alternating milli-amperage current delivered in a series of short pulses a few milliseconds in length. As the current passes through the conductive pads it stimulates the motor points of the muscle triggering a visible muscle contraction. By varying the intensity of the current, the pulse length, wave form and the rest period between each muscle contraction Faradic treatments can be customized to the needs of each individual. Faradic technology can be used for the toning of wasted muscles, and for stimulating the blood supply in wasted limbs. When applied aesthetically faradic therapy is traditionally used for body contouring, slimming and toning. Each treatment session provides a form of passive muscle exercise. A typical 20 minute stomach treatment is the equivalent of doing 300 perfect sit ups In combination with faradic treatment we add G5 which is known as vibration technology. We use G5 to provide deep cleansing to the muscle tissues removing the toxin build up of lactic acid and excess carbon dioxide. As well as helps break down stubborn fat in the thighs, bottom and stomach and will reduce the appearance of cellulite. You will leave feeling slimmer, toned and much more supple. At your initial appointment, we will identify your target area, such as abdomen, buttocks or legs. Both, measurements and/or photos are taken at that time and also after treatment are completed. The procedure is performed with you lying down comfortably on a massage table.Each session lasts 45 - 60 minutes depending on area and/or body type.

TO PEEL OR NOT TO PEEL THAT IS THE QUESTION?

Skin peeling has been used for many years for various reasons. However, it has been, in certain cases, like playing 'Russian Roulette' as far as the end result is concerned. Peeling away wrinkles and pigmentation has been the aim. What has been forgotten in many cases is the long-term effects of just peeling away the epidermis. The RégimA 'Peel & Heal' has a unique action and cannot be compared to any other peel, whether natural or chemical. RégimA's 'Peel & Heal' is a Natural chemical peel. That is PLANT & FLOWER CHEMICALS, the potent natural actives extracted from nature. RégimA does not use any chemicals within the peels or home care products ensuring potency & safety! The skin is the largest organ in the human body. Yes it is an organ! However, it is one of the only organs that cannot be transplanted. Therefore it is essential that from a very young age it is cared for and protected from the harsh elements and the ravages of modern living. RégimA focuses not only on AESTHETICS but also on SKIN HEALTH. One must always consider more than the look of the skin, the immediate smoothness that a treatment can give and compare this to the therapeutic, skin health issue. We have all heard of MALIGNANT MELANOMAS and BASAL CELL CARCINOMAS. These are due to cell changes within the basal, living layer of skin. This is the layer that RégimA's 'Peel & Heal' gradually works down to. Then, by maintaining regular treatments and home care, one can help prevent abnormal cell changes and the formation of these skin cancers. Frighteningly these abnorma l cell changes can occur at any age, even in the very young (teenagers!!). It is critical therefore that one undergoes regular RégimA 'treatments', irrespective of age. We at RégimA have been manufacturing the 100% NATURAL 'PEEL & HEAL' for many years and have achieved amazing results. Our medically accepted formula is used successfully internationally, irrespective of climate and season. Because we specialize in scar treatments we are several steps ahead of the crowd. The unique RégimA formulation can and should be used all year round and, although powerful, carries no risks! One starts the process of removing the outer dead layer of skin. This is the layer that gives us wrinkles, pigmentation, sun spots, age spots, everything that retards rejuvenation. The 'Peel & Heal' successfully and very safely, works gradually through the outer dead layer and down to the basal living layer. It stimulates collagen production, re-elastisizing and rejuvenating even the most damaged, scarred, sun damaged or ageing skins. The RégimA formula helps to THICKEN the skin, making it much more youthful and healthy and less prone to cell changes. It contains an abundance of skin and scar healing ingredients blended with only pure, NATURAL, unadulterated, unbuffered acids. Although the 'Peel & Heal' is potent it is still very easily tolerated and one does not have to experience a major peeling to reap the full benefit. The secret is always in the formulation. With regular peels the skin becomes firmer, smoother, even in colour and texture. ACTION • Smooths wrinkles and improves sundamaged skin • Rejuvenates, regenerates • Removes solar keratoses 'sun spots', 'age spots', 'liver spots' • Repairs & Re-elastisizes thin, fragile, damaged skins • Helps eliminate and control pigmentation, restoring normal colour • Helps uneven skin tone, smooths uneven texture • Helps eliminate and control active acne and improves old acne scarring • Helps level and smooth coarse, lumpy, hypertrophic and keloid scars • Improves flexibility and mobility of hard scarred skin • In certain cases improves function of old scarred areas on the face & body • Helps normalize pigmented or blemished areas following - Laser or Liquid nitrogen treatment • Removes years of damage on even the most sensitive skins • Clearing and tightening of pores • Benefits ALL SKIN TYPES - sensitive, young, mature, white, black, asian, male, female PART 1 OF 2 – See next month for more information .
